Hello,
I am looking for any information on the brother of my grandfather. his name was Jan Willem Vlot, and he went to live and work in Brampton, in 1917.He was born 13 may 1887

He worked at the Bulls Farm in Brampton,Ontario. I know that because I have a letter from him.
Just before he went away, he wrote it to my grandfather who was enlisted in the army in the Netherlands.
He didin`t stay for a long time, because he was a bit restless, and my mother told me he was a real Cowboy.

He died 26-2-1926 in Buenos Aires,He went there in 1920.
He had a kick from a horse in his back and he was in the hospital when he wrote another letter to my grandfather.
My grandfather Nijs Vlot died 26-2-1928, so I couldn't ask him.`He was 34, my mother was 2 years old.

I hope anyone can look in the sencus of Brampton, or in the books at Bulls farm for me and find his name or any annotation. Maybe when he died in 1928.

I attached a picture of my grandfather.

Thank you, Eveline Salario
